Living in a multiracial area and in a city with strong LGBT+ communities I prioritise inclusiveness and intersectionality. Pre-retirement I was involved in researching the language and training needs of migrant women in Leeds and in work on domestic violence, representing Leeds LEA on Leeds Inter Agency Project and as initiator of NUT policy carried forward by others when I had to take ill-health retirement.
I strongly support the return to a two day Conference preferably in hybrid format allowing more women to participate.
Currently I’m Leeds North East CLP Disability Officer and Women’s Forum member, Trade Union Liaison Officer of Disability Labour and a Committee member of Labour Women Leading.
Previously I was: a teacher and NUT activist; NUT National Equality (Women and Girls) Committee member; Leeds Local Education Authority Equality (Women and Girls) Officer. Currently I’m an active member of Unite Community and an observer delegate to Leeds TUC. I have also written a number of articles on Women’s and Disability issues.
I am proud to be supported by Momentum, Centre Left Grassroots Alliance and Labour Women Leading.
